Filter by:This is a prospective, interventional, case-control study at King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre in post-renal transplant patients who are receiving Grazoprevir/Elbasvir combination. Data will be compared with matched historical controls, which will be selected according to the following matching criteria: age, time from transplant to initiation of therapy. Only patients who completed at least 48 weeks of pegylated Interferon + Ribavirin therapy in the control group and 12 weeks of therapy on the case group will be enrolled. Any patient who received at least one dose of Grazoprevir/Elbasvir combination will be included in the safety analysis.
This is a prospective, multicentre observational follow-up study of PegIFN treatment unstained response in nucleoside experienced patients with Chronic Hepatitis B.Patients will join this study after finished following clinical trail about A Study of Combination or Sequential Treatment With PEGASYS (Peginterferon Alfa-2a) and Entecavir in Patients With HBeAg Positive Chronic Hepatitis B(OSST trail),A Real-World Study of Pegylated Interferon In Nucleoside-treated Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B (COST study), Combination Therapy With Interferon Plus Interleukin 2 and Hepatitis B Vaccine in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients(Endeavor study),A Prospective Clinical Trial in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients Nucleotide Analogues Experienced (Anchor A Study),Sequential/Combination Therapy in Nucleoside or Nucleotide Analogue (NA)-Suppressed Chronic Hepatitis B Patients (NPGV study).We plan to compare the HBsAg negative rate and maintenance rate,the occurrence of liver cirrhosis and the occurrence rate of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) related to hepatitis B virus(HBV) within five years between interferon group (including interferon alone or interferon combined with other drugs) and nucleoside analogues.Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they received interferon or not.
The aim of the prospective real-world study is to evaluate whether sequential combination therapy with pegylated interferon plus entecavir/tenofovir could induce higher rates of HBsAg loss in nucleoside-treated patients with chronic hepatitis B compared to continuous nucleoside treatment.
In Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients receiving long-term sequential Neucleos(t)ides(NAs), majority of these CHB patients experienced drug resistance and switched to Tenofovir disoproxil fumaratate(TDF). However, some of patients on long term TDF experienced impairment of renal function and bone mineral density. After Tenofovir alafenamide(TAF) was in clinical practice, these group of patients got an clinical option to switch from TDF to TAF. The investigators designed a prospective cohort study to evaluate the real life effectiveness and safety in participants with chronic HBV infection switch from TDF to TAF vs. maintaining on TDF.
This was a single center, open-label, single-arm study in which approximately 28 Hepatitis A virus (HAV)-seronegative healthy subjects were enrolled. There was a screening period of up to 28 days during which subjects were screened for enrollment in the study. Healthy subjects received a single intramuscular (IM) dose of GamaSTAN (0.2 mL/kg), followed by a pharmacokinetic (PK) sampling period of 150 days (approximately 5 half-lives). The protective levels of anti-HAV antibodies were assessed up to 60 days after the administration of GamaSTAN. A PK curve was obtained during the PK sampling period.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains difficult to eradicate with about 240 million people living with HBV chronic infection. HBsAg clearance, correlated with a good clinical prognosis, is difficult to achieve even with antiviral treatments (3-14 %). HBV envelope proteins are essential for entry into hepatocyte and are targeted by the immune system. Molecular characteristics of HBV envelope proteins may favour better viral fitness at the entry step into hepatocytes and/or HBV escape from host immunity. Here we investigated whether variability of HBV envelope proteins can contribute to the differential responses to anti-HBV treatment in patients with HBsAg clearance or persistence.
This study evaluates the addition of glycyrrhizin to entecavir in the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis B in China. Half of participants will receive magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate followed by oral diammonium glycyrrhizinate and entecavir in combination, while the other half will receive a placebo and entecavir.
The objective of this study was to assess the incidence of side effects after direct-acting antiviral therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection.
Entecavir (ETV) and tenofovir (TDF) are the first-line drugs for treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Chronic HBV infection gradually progress to liver cirrhosis. Over time, as liver damage and cirrhosis advance, the illness progress to a stage termed as decompensated cirrhosis, characterized by development of one or more of serious, life-threatening complications (ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, variceal bleeding or jaundice). In HBV related decompensated cirrhosis, antiviral treatment is shown to provide benefit. For HBV related decompensated cirrhosis, EVT is the drug of choice as it has been shown to be effective and safe. The usual dose of ETV for chronic HBV infection is 0.5 mg orally once daily. Somehow, the recommended dose of ETV for decompensated cirrhosis has been 1.0 mg/d. The literature provides no justification for using this double dose of ETV. Since 0.5 mg daily works well in other stages of disease, there is little reason why it should not work well even in treatment-naïve decompensated cirrhosis. Considering the limitations of available literature, physicians' are divided in their opinion about the drug dose and are prescribing either of the two doses of ETV for this group. Hence, there is a need to assess whether the usual 0.5 mg/d of ETV would work as well as the 1.0 mg/d dose of ETV in decompensated cirrhosis due to HBV infection. Investigators planned this open-labeled observational study with objective to compare the efficacy of HBV suppression achieved using 0.5 mg daily and 1.0 mg daily of ETV in HBV-related decompensated cirrhosis by comparing the mean reduction in HBV DNA level from baseline after 24 weeks of treatment. In present study investigators propose to enroll 15 participants in each group who has been started on either doses (0.5 mg and 1.0 mg) of entecavir and measure serum HBV DNA levels in blood specimens (5 ml) will be collected at different time points, i.e. at baseline, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 weeks after starting entecavir.
SHARP-C is an observational cohort study investigating the effect of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy and reinfection in people with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) and recent injecting drug use. A prospective, observational cohort design will be used to enrol patients attending tertiary drug and alcohol and primary health care services. Participants will be prescribed a direct-acting HCV medication as per the standard of care. The on treatment phase will vary dependent on the type of a direct-acting antiviral prescribed as per the standard of care. Once patients have completed their treatment course they will be followed up every 3 months for up to 3 years following the end of treatment phase. The study will aim to evaluate the incidence of HCV reinfection following successful DAA treatment over the three years of follow up. The study will also evaluate the proportion of patients with undetectable HCV RNA at 12 weeks post end of treatment (SVR12) with direct-acting anti-viral HCV therapy.
